OT Email forwarding

We were previous users of Tiscali/TalkTalk as our broadband provider. We have 3 email addresses with them that we use regularly. We have subsequently moved to BT but retained the original email addresses.
Today we have received an email from them saying it’ll cost £5 a month to retain these addresses since we are no longer customers.

I think I’d like to move to email forwarding and pick from the free domains list.

Are there any recommendations for which service to use? It seems a minefield.

TIA

No replies to the OP suggests maybe not but, anyone know anything about email forwarding?

I have set up an email address (or rather, Mrs m_v has) for my framebuilding endeavours.

I can get the emails forwarded to either my hotmail or gmail accounts.

With hotmail they all go into my junk folder.

With gmail they go into my main inbox and I have set it up so that new emails can be sent from either my @gmail.com address or my @domain.com address but if I reply to a forwarded email it automatically sends the reply from my @gmail.com address and doesn't give me the option to change the sender.

Anyone know a way to fix this?

That's it!

I knew there'd be a way to change the sender deets, didn't think that clicking in a blank area of screen would be it!
